The colouring of concrete is achieved through the use of cements, coloured sands, coloured aggregates and pigments (oxides). The basic cements used are grey, and white.
Where the desired colour cannot be achieved by using cement, aggregate and sand selection, a wider range of colour can be achieved using pigments (oxides).
Coloured precast elements can also have other finishes applied to them like etching, grit blasting, water washing, polishing and honing if requested.
